*An explanation of the ending without spoilers.*

Now I’m not one to usually write a review about one, but seeing how this game has gotten so much hate because many felt as though the ending was abrupt or lazy. In the next paragraph I hope to explain that in my opinion of why people disliked the ending, and how that resulted in so much hate towards the game.

I want to first start off saying that it can’t be denied that the developers at Campo Santo made a beautiful game which you can’t deny even if you think the ending sucked for Firewatch. Now onto why I think many people thought the ending sucked. From the first day Henry showed up at the Shoshone National Forest in the Wyoming wilderness for the firewatcher job, he was asked an bizarre question by his supervisor Delilah, which was “What are you escaping from”. Now to keep it spoil free I won’t mention why, but through the next day’s Henry will start to get more bizarre questions that he will both ask himself and Delilah. Now throughout the game there starts to become this one big problem that Henry and Delilah are trying to solve, this problem has you guessing, and questioning so much. This problem is what I think was the cause to many hating the ending, because throughout the game the as you’re getting closer to solving this problem, the rising action increases ever more, until you reach the climax, which is the answer to that problem. Now during that rising action there becomes many speculations on what this problem is which leads to the player overthinking it and becoming frustrated when it wasn’t what they hoped it would be. The same can be said about the ending where things didn’t go the way players wanted it to go, but to think that certain events would play out in the way you hoped were not possible. Because if you remember what I mentioned about day one, that this place was an escape for Henry, that he was carrying weight from his place back home, and that while he was here in Shoshone National Forest he could feel free, but once he leaves he has to return to the world he once left. Now some of this might not make sense since you haven’t played it, but I’m telling it this way so I don’t spoil it for you.

Now I hope I was able to convince you that Firewatch is a great game, that should not be rejected because some players felt it didn’t go the way they wanted to and that Campo Santo has given us a masterpiece for only a mere $20, while many AAA developers out there charge us $60 for something they can’t even deliver on now a days.

Macro Simulator

Barbarian Brawl, what is it? Well the name pretty much states it you as the player get to choose from a list of 6 barbarians, but you really only start out with one, each barbarian has their pros & cons but i'm not going to get into that... Once you have selected your barbarian you then can either use quick battle or server browser, but since the servers are completely empty, you are gonna want to select quick battle. Then after a couple seconds you load into a map, noted there is only one map you can chose, which gets rather boring after a little while... now that you have spawned in, you really have to spend some time messing around, cuz sadly there is no tutorial, which in my opinion is the main source of why the servers are empty cuz you don't have a clue what to do. So after spending some time messing around i understood some things, bet i still felt that i was still missing some stuff, what i did understand was the health, the score, chat box, who killed who thing, but there was some other stuff i am still puzzled about... That was a summary of what i though of the game, i will go more into the pros/cons of the game below.

Pros
- the death physics is cool, & really funny
- can be a fun game if the servers were more populated
- good soundtrack
- game isn't demanding specs wise
- has a cool cartoonish look to it

Cons
-There is no tutorial which is a huge turnoff for the game, because you don't know what to do, so you can't fully enjoy it, & instead you become frustrated & lose interest, making a tutorial can really help save this game.

-The servers are empty, i saw only one other player get on, which was probably due to no tutorial

-since there is only one map it can get a bit boring, also the map needs some tuning, some parts of it will be stacked with traps, while other areas are completely empty, so the skilled ones are likely to not step within a couple feet of the trap-covered areas, since they would have the skill advantage, while the noobs would be more likely to hang out in the trap area, since it would be easier to get kills.

- more gamemodes, there is only deathmatch, which like i said gets boring after a little while.

- more warriors/weapons, with any mutiplayer only game, you need to keep coming out with new content/tweaking things in order to keep people interested.

Conclusion: I really don't want to give this game a thumbs down, because this game is fixable, compared to some games on steam, that devs leave out to dry, but since there is only a thumbs-up or thumbs-down option on Steam, i have no choice to give it thumbs-down, because i don't want to tell people to pay $9.99 for a game that is currently empty, & has some problems with it. I do wish though that steam would a third choice for recommendation in the review, like "Too Early to Say", or simpy "Unsure at the Moment", anyway the review will change for the game over the course of the next couple months as Thrillion makes some adjustments/tweaks for the game.

War, the Game, is simple, yet difficult RTS, which has you as the position of some general for hire, in a military simulation game, with a female ai helping you along the way. The game starts with a tutorial, but it really throws you right into the game, & teaches you as the game goes along, which isn't too bad, since some games have you spending 20 minutes in some annoying tutorial mode, learning things that took you about 10 seconds to master.

The Pros:

- I love how when you select multiple units you just have to hover over them, compared to Starcraft where you have this rectangle box, & if you miss one unit, you have to make that annoying box again, which is just annoying & wastes time.
- good price
- great graphics/cool weather effects
- not a big download
- not very demanding on computers

Cons
- It's hard to understand the Ai sometimes, since it's talking with that robotic voice, but that's a part of the game, & there are subtitles, so this isn't really a con, it's just a little bit frustrating sometimes.
- there aren't a whole lot of graphic options, this game is easy to run on most computers, so you wouldn't have to change the graphic options, just some things like fullscreen/window would be a good option to add.
- there isn't a main-menu when you first start the game, so that can be kinda confusing at first.

other things
- the game doesn't have a huge learning curve, so it's easy to pick up for anyone that has never played an RTS before
- As most RTS go, it doesn't bring anything new to the table, but it helps polish, & fine-tune alot of stuff that other RTS games got wrong.

Final Evaulation: 8/10 - Simple, yet addicting RTS that i recommend to anyone that is new to that genre of games

Murdered: Soul Suspect is about a wannabe detective/previous gangster, who was over his head as usual. The game is almost a point & click game at times. You are pretty much just looking at evidence, reading some person's mind, then solving a case with the most straightforward answer, which confuses you at times because the answer does nothing to help the case, & it just trips you up.

Pros:
+ Good Graphics
+ Music is good, is repetitive when examining evidence
+ Good Voice acting
+ Your a ghost
+ You can possess a cat
+ Can see women naked, jk XD


Cons:
- When you're solving cases, almost all the answers are straight forward, making it pointless to collect evidence
- Controls are a bit messy, it seems like this game was mainly developed for console
- Gameplay gets repetitive after the 3rd case, which is look at this evidence, read mind, now conclude case


Conclusion:
- If you someone who played L.A. Noire, Vanishing of Ethan Carter, those Sherlock games. Then I recommend you not waste your money or time with this game, because the story isn't much & the gameplay gets very repetitive, but if you still want to buy it. I would wait until this game is %80-%90, because there are better detective games out there right now that are cheaper or of the same price of Murdered: Soul Suspect.

*SPOILER, don't read this if you don't want to know about the story.*
